New guide helps consumers and employers
understand health insurance
Newswise — The Agency
for Healthcare Research and Quality and
America's Health Insurance Plans today
released Questions and Answers about Health
Insurance, a new guide designed to help
consumers make important health insurance
decisions.
The guide explains how
different types of health insurance work,
including network-based plans, non-network
based coverage, and consumer-directed health
plans. It also provides a glossary of health
insurance terms as well as additional
resources to obtain more information.
This guide is a
critically important resource because
today's more complex health care system
requires consumers and employers to be more
informed about their choices. Choosing and
understanding how to use a health plan may
be the key to helping consumers get the care
they need when they need it.
To learn more about how
"Questions and Answers about Health
Insurance" can help consumers and employers
understand more about health insurance,
please call Joyce Middleton at 301-427-1862.

the new health insurance booklet that
includes soundbites from AHRQ Director Dr.
Carolyn Clancy. Please visit
